THE RECONCILIATION OF
CHEESE.

The following is an extract from
the speech of Geo. W. Peck, Of the
La Crosse Sun. before the Wiscon-
sin Dairy Conventions:
But to come down to the pres.
ent days we find that cheese has be
come one of the most importan:
branches Of manufacture. 1t is next
in importance to the silver interest.
And, fellow cheese-mongers. you
are doing yourselves great injus-
tice that you do not petition Con-
gress to pass bill to rei.onetize
chess There is more cheese rails
ed in this country than there is sill
yer, and it's more valuable. Sup
pose you had not ea.en a mouthiul
in thirty days, and yon should have
placed on the table before you ten
dollars stamped ont OF silver bnl
lion on one plate. and nine stamp
ed out Of cheese bullion on another
plate, which wonld you take first
Though the face value Of the nine
cheese dollars would lie 10 per cent
below the face value of the ten sill
yer dollars. you would take tie
chances of the cheese. You could
ase it to better advantage in you,
business. Hence ! say cheese is
more valuable than silver, aud il
should be made legal tender for all
debts. public and private. except
pew rent. I may be in advance OF
other eminent finaLciers. who lave
studied the currency question. but
want to see the time come, aud
trust the day is not far distant,
when 4l2i grains Of cheese will be
equal 10 o dollar in Goldfish, and
when the merry jingle Of slices OF
cheese shall DE heard in every
pocket. Then every cheese factory
can make its own coin, money will
be plenty. everybody will be happy.
and there never will be war any
more. 1t may be asked how thi,
currency can be redeemed? I would
have an incontroveTtible bond. made
of Limburger cheese, which is
stronger and more durable. When
this is done you can tell the ric!
man from the poor man by the
smell Of his money. Nowadays
many of us do not even get the
smell of money; but in the good
days which are coming the gentle
zephyr will watt to us the delicate
violet and the able bodied Limbur-
ger, and we shall know that money
is plenty.
